I built a wall of steel and tin
To keep you all from coming in
Protection from the cursed wind
Exactly what my plan had been
Atop my tower of carbon steel
Looking up the prophets kneel
But they have seen a greater sight
A fiery mount a cloud alight
I couldn't see
Too many things
In fact the clutter cripples me
Can't quite remember freest flight
And as it is no dreams at night
Still playing games I couldn't win
With shiny lights and endless din
A constant gross calliope
To keep my dreams away from me
And I've wasted so much time
Precious seconds that I can't rewind
All the Months and Years that I'll never find
I've wasted so much time
I tried to be reliable
Someone trusted through and through
A pillar in a broken tower
Instead I wandered on for hours
Out lookin' for distracting things
A thousand drunken spinning kings
And dragons with a million wings
To blot the sky and cover me
And I've wasted so much time
And I hope that you can recognize
That you don't wanna be like me
On my temporal decline
Chaotic constant compromise
Has got me in a spin
I've wasted so much time
Precious seconds that I can't rewind
All the months and years that I'll never find
I've wasted so much time
I've wasted so much time
Precious seconds that I can't rewind
Portent fancies that I've undermined
It's the Hours and Minutes on the line
It's the art and limits that I intertwined
All the Months and Years I'll never find
It's procrastination it's a paradigm
It's a loop I'm stuck in
It's a loop I'm stuck in
It's a loop I'm stuck in
I've wasted so much time
